apex

[alpine trail]

because I hate spending money

[uneven citrus]

I got so little school left so im just waiting for that then getting a job

[wintry cypress]

sheesh

[alpine trail]

sheeshh indeed

i thought 900 for a 1080ti was alot in 2018

[wintry cypress]

i can get a 3060 in like or 2 months if i want to

[alpine trail]

yeah I was actually only gonna buy a card originally

[hoary hamlet]

bro its gonna go in a couple hours

[alpine trail]

but they were 2x msrp

so I said fuck it new pc

you bought 2??

[wintry cypress]

bro i can get a 3060 for 500 or 600 dollars

[alpine trail]

thats good

[wintry cypress]

YEA

its 2nd hand tho

[alpine trail]

when I wanted to get one scalpers were giving me like 8 or 900 mostly

[hoary hamlet]

me looks at my poor laptop

[alpine trail]

I was like nah man u good

[hoary hamlet]

dont

[uneven citrus]

Well someone is selling a 3090 for 2800 USD in sweden

[hoary hamlet]

pls dont get a 2nd hand gpu

[wintry cypress]

my current one is 2nd hand lol

[hoary hamlet]

unless you test it out it aint worth it

[modest oyster]

im doing school works rn

[wintry cypress]

it works fine

[alpine trail]

yeah man

that shit is rough

[hoary hamlet]

good

[alpine trail]

normally when crypto crashes gpu prices go down

[wintry cypress]

tbh i might as well get a new 2060 super

[modest oyster]

yea these are past due date

[wintry cypress]

that shit goes for like 600 i think

[hoary hamlet]

breh

[alpine trail]

that's one of the big reasons gpu's go out of stock fast miners buy them in bulk

[hoary hamlet]

the 3050 is looking promising

[modest oyster]

valorant > schoolworks

priorities

[alpine trail]

and then shit like what happened over the past 2 years happens

[hoary hamlet]

i might build a pc with 12400 nd 3050

[hoary hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/no-nooo-nope-eat-fingerwag-gif-23757070

[uneven citrus]

Is the 3050 good?

[modest oyster]

im so excited

and a little bit nervous and scared

asdjahsdlkasd

[hoary hamlet]

[hoary hamlet]

its decent \

imo

[alpine trail]

why?

man I hate blizzard

2 weeks no response about my account

[hoary hamlet]

if you optimize your game you can get like 160 or 170 on the 3050

[uneven citrus]

THe 3050 goes for half of the 3060 atm in sweden

[modest oyster]

my first time competing

!!

i don't know if i can do it tho

XD

my pc is really bad

[hoary hamlet]

ik you win these so yea

[modest oyster]

and im playing against people with good pcs

[alpine trail]

ahhh well goodluck

nah aiming > good pc

look at console players in apex

[modest oyster]

oh

[hoary hamlet]

a persons improvement isnt based on the pc but the person itself

[modest oyster]

its a valorant tournament

the vct game changer thingy

[hoary hamlet]

@burnt stone words from the wise aim lord

[hoary hamlet]

NAH bruh LMAO

[uneven citrus]

I mean if you get like 40 fps you will suffer

[modest oyster]

my fps drops to 30 during crazy fights

LOL

[alpine trail]

yeah but its kinda like training to be a good runner then when it comes to the race you're paralyzed from the waist down

[uneven citrus]

on valorant?

[modest oyster]

yup

[uneven citrus]

damn

[alpine trail]

good fps in kovaaks training all the mechanics to be efficient in game then in game 30 40 fps

I used to hate my life back then

i was literal dog shit

[hoary hamlet]

running nd aiming is 2 different aspects or things

[alpine trail]

yeah ofc

[hoary hamlet]

why do i forget words when i need em

MAN <.<

[alpine trail]

but if you train properly and effectively then you're limited when it comes to putting it in practice its always gonna be hard

[uneven citrus]

I dont practice enough on kovaaks

[alpine trail]

you're right tho you can improve regardless just harder to see that improvement and the outcome of your hard work

if you have something really really limiting you

[modest oyster]

i don't do kovaaks

[alpine trail]

do you play a lot of val

[modest oyster]

uhh

its my main game

and probably the most i play everyday

[alpine trail]

ye u probs don't even need to as much tbh

[modest oyster]

asdasdasdasd

[alpine trail]

like when I played cs I didn't play kovaaks

[modest oyster]

i feel like i should lower my sensitivity

but

[alpine trail]

just hsdm and ffa for like 4 hours a day

[modest oyster]

i'm doing good on my sens anyway

so i don't think i should change

[alpine trail]

but apex has too much down time kovaaks helps so much

kovaaks would still help with valorant tbh but it's probably not as much of a must

[hoary hamlet]

you can run both at the same time ?????????????//

[alpine trail]

what

are you talking about

[modest oyster]

so

uhh

change sens

yes or no

?

[alpine trail]

sure

[regal sun]

i just won my first no fill trios game

[alpine trail]

gg

[regal sun]

😍

[bright elm]

no rosie!!!

[modest oyster]

omg teach me

[alpine trail]

dont you have an important turny today?

[bright elm]

dont do it!!!

20cm god

[alpine trail]

ask flight for a sens

[modest oyster]

do i put it back to 13 cm

LMAO

[alpine trail]

he knows all the sens

[hoary hamlet]

nvm

[bright elm]

🥺

[regal sun]

it was an accident, i was just given no teammates and ended up winning

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bright elm]

i mean idk

[modest oyster]

im bad

[hoary hamlet]

clips farm yes

[bright elm]

play on 3cm

[modest oyster]

didnt even win ever since yesterday !

[alpine trail]

i get nervous af when playing solo and taking down trios by my self, its really annoying

[modest oyster]

@bright elm

[regal sun]

i have 3 hours in the past two weeks and i was just trying to get back into the game ready for the update

[modest oyster]

im playinh apex cus im burnt out from playing valorant

[alpine trail]

i bought a knife so now im forced to play

[bright elm]

rosie this clip is making me nauseous

i cant

the audio is out of sync

i dont even know how you play on that res

it looks so bad

nice kills tho

idk how u track with 50fps

[modest oyster]

IM SORRY

[modest oyster]

I CANT

[wintry cypress]

if anything im impressed you even play on that res + fps

[bright elm]

rosie is so good

[alpine trail]

can't wait to superglide into a new players mouth on control mode and they never touch the game again

[alpine trail]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

[wintry cypress]

lmaoo

[alpine trail]

we need to try get some vt ppl and q snipe

try and get into the same match

that would be fun af

or if anyone could have a custom lobby and just inv 18 people and play control

I wish

could vt not apply for an apex lobby

bc of the community?

[modern herald]

toaster gaming

[modest oyster]

yus

[wintry cypress]

no idea

[modern herald]

rosie pc leaked

[alpine trail]

an apex discord I'm in applied for a server

bc they have enough members to or some shit like they fall into EA's like requirements

they legit give priv lobbies to console players like nothing

[modest oyster]

LMAOO

[wintry cypress]

avg school pc

[viscid wraith]

this is unironically what i first played apex on back in s0 lmao

had to run it at like 800x600 with the original super op autoexec from mendo and barely got 40-60fps haha

with the fps based anti aliasing on full blast

[modern herald]

rough

[livid cliff]

askers?

[viscid wraith]

british?

[livid cliff]

american lol

[viscid wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-spitting-fax-facts-cat-spitting-fax-gif-22521516

[remote river]

man i use to play CSGO on 800x600 stretched for fun 😂

i dont think i could survive with that on apex

im a native gamer now

[alpine trail]

god res

scream og res

with the cyan size 3 gap 0 crosshair damn that shit wild

[remote river]

why you think i was using it

I was a scream fanboy

[alpine trail]

scream was at one point like mechanically the best player

but he only excelled in specific situations and those were few and far between

[jaunty iron]

rosie is immortal on 59fps

[alpine trail]

nice

bitches come and go

but you know i stay

[tawny comet]

ok

[remote river]

his pure mechanics are fking insane watching a match where he was popping off was so fking hype

[alpine trail]

I still remember when he played for kinguin

that was so long ago

[chilly charm]

https://medal.tv/games/apex-legends/clips/amI18nAzKOOjX/d1337wRH3HE7?invite=cr-MSx0dmgsNDI5ODYyNzYs not the cleanest but we take those

[shadow nest]

cracked

[chilly charm]

i want to have a red-ish theme but the 4k is kinda nice i guess but i don't know which 3rd badge to have, any suggestions?
(i am not pred yet so cant use that lol)

[wintry cypress]

u could do season 1 badges

if u have them

[alpine trail]

maybe theses?

[chilly charm]

aaa yes that would've been good but unfortunately i played on PS4 back then so I don't have any event badges before system override i think

[wintry cypress]

sadge

[alpine trail]

the trillseekers

[chilly charm]

that does work but i don't have them lol

[alpine trail]

Traggiicc

[chilly charm]

and maybe i'm just being a douche but they aren't tryhard enough lol

maybe i'll just keep this for now

[chilly charm]

this looks nice tho, nice colour scheme

[shadow nest]

Why is this game so hard :SataniaCry:

No nitro moment

[wintry cypress]

[chilly charm]

mine lasts like 5 days more

[wintry cypress]

i bought nitro

[shadow nest]

[shadow nest]

This guy is cracked

[trail ice]

when does new season come?

[remote river]

1pm est

[turbid condor]

1pk est

fok

6 for me

[chilly charm]

i believe it's in 2 hours and 55 minutes from now

[turbid condor]

yeh

6pm for me

UK

[alpine trail]

wtf

they added

anticheat

to kovaaks

[viscid wraith]

@oblique pulsar meanie

y u punch me u big bulli

[proven pulsar]

@oblique pulsar i was 16 away from masters

why you do this

[viscid wraith]

lmao

[chilly charm]

wattson

[viscid wraith]

if only grapple cooldown wasnt 2 decades after a sling grapple lmao

have to stand and fight as a fridge with a no bolt eva looooll https://clips.twitch.tv/BadEndearingCaribouMau5-LP3UudJWWUy3U9Tk

[austere glen]

no cooldown grapple when

or rather speed-independent grapple cooldown again

but make it faster than it was before the original change

or, give it charges like in titanfall

[viscid wraith]

two charges would be literally huge af

[austere glen]

grapple in titanfall feels really good bc of the charges

not that i used it a whole lot, sure it was one of my more played pilots but i liked amp wall more

got titan-level damage without needing a titan

was lit

[viscid wraith]

the thing is path is so very good when played properly

[austere glen]

yeah

[viscid wraith]

like i ironically meme about buff path but hes not weak

[chilly charm]

pathfinder is S tier in the right hands

[viscid wraith]

like i style on kids

[austere glen]

the grapple is both the best tool path has, and the heaviest hindrance to unlocking titanfall grapple pilot levels of mobility

it's clear to see that playstyle was what respawn was going for with path

extreme skill ceiling with big rewards

[viscid wraith]

ye

if they buffed path

for the average player

mains like me would rek face

[alpine trail]

https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/defiance-patch-notes

Removed punch boost but nothing about ts 💀

[viscid wraith]

we wont know for sure until patch goes live

[austere glen]

i feel like the biggest obstacle for people learning path is the really nebulous grapple controls

[remote river]

[austere glen]

over anything numerically wrong with the character

and i dont feel like there'd be any buffs to path that would both help newbies and not majorly help pros

like, increasing air maneuverability while grappling would make it easier for nebies, but would make pros zip around like nobody's business

[viscid wraith]

once you really learn grapple interactions

and it clicks

[austere glen]

so i feel like the real way to buff newbies is to give proper learning tools for path's grapple

[viscid wraith]

you go nuts

[austere glen]

right now the best they have is youtube tutorials

that are variable in quality

[viscid wraith]

just watching euriece and cau7ion helps immensely

[austere glen]

and don't offer a way to practice scenarios yourself

[viscid wraith]

doryuu is also a good path but no really a "main"

[austere glen]

if there was a proper nook in the firing range for grapple stuff, and something like a strategy guide section somewhere in the menu with grapple mechanics listed

hell, even just the strategy guide would help a lot

[wintry cypress]

you must not have played for a long ass time

[austere glen]

since the interactions between legends aren't always obvious

[viscid wraith]

nah i feel

path needs to be a character you learn thru play

[austere glen]

and how they play, or how they can be played effectively

[austere glen]

yes, but what i'm saying is that you can't even be expected to learn the grapple mechanics since you're not made aware of them through any in-game means

[viscid wraith]

tbf most of them are bugs

[austere glen]

other than getting styled on by other paths more skilled than you

[viscid wraith]

sling grapple is literally the physics system misrendering the length of the grapple cause it folds in on itself when it collides with geometry on its return path

[alpine trail]

i mean the game doesnt teach you about movement or tap strafing

nor recoil patterns

1 yt video about
"how to play path"

would show them how to use the grapple

[austere glen]

legend tutorial scenarios

[viscid wraith]

most games dont do that

pretty unnecessary imo

especially considering they have way better things to put time into

[torpid obsidian]

How tf can you wallbounce that

[austere glen]

they're helpful for people who might not have access to other guides

[torpid obsidian]

Didnt even slide

[austere glen]

language barrier still exists

[viscid wraith]

fatigue bounce tap strafe

[torpid obsidian]

Oh like

[viscid wraith]

thats why he jumped

then jumped again

to start fatigue

[torpid obsidian]

Ohhhhh

Okay yeah hes just good

[viscid wraith]

it interacts with the physics of the wall differently

if youre in fatigue state

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah ik

[austere glen]

i didn't know either one of those things existed

[viscid wraith]

jump fatigue is the system that reduces your jump height when you chain them

[torpid obsidian]

I also found out you can wallbounce while walking just by tapping crouch

[viscid wraith]

ye you can wallbounce way more then people know

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah

[austere glen]

i'm still at the part of figuring out movement where i'm trying to not be just a standing brick

[torpid obsidian]

Uhhh

[austere glen]

i ads a lot, and it slows your movement down to basically nothing

[viscid wraith]

gibby unironically can do some sick wallbounces on random ledges, i think cause of hitbox size

[torpid obsidian]

A and D and crouch

[austere glen]

i use index for crouch

[torpid obsidian]

Literally get in their face and hipfire

Unless they not shootjng at u

[viscid wraith]

hipfire in this game kekw https://streamable.com/sin0bb

if you just ads tap intermittently its basically cheating

[torpid obsidian]

Okay dont ads

I only ads when like

[austere glen]

but how am i gonna hit my shots then

[torpid obsidian]

They arnt shooting

[austere glen]

i don't have streamer rng

[torpid obsidian]

So

So

Its kinda weird

[viscid wraith]

hipfire in general is just broken in this game within 20m https://streamable.com/b18c1z

[torpid obsidian]

When they moving away

Or towards you

You can ads

[viscid wraith]

only ads with wingman mastiff or outside of 20m

[torpid obsidian]

But if its a close range duel then hiofire

[torpid obsidian]

Yuh

[viscid wraith]

or to spam ads to tighten hipfire like a cuck lol

[torpid obsidian]

Lmao

[austere glen]

tbf i do hipfire a lot in bad business already

so i just gotta transfer that gunfeel to apex

[torpid obsidian]

Unless they arnt in my face i never ads

[viscid wraith]

playing titanfall again re-ingrained the hipfire habit

[torpid obsidian]

Yeah titajfall based

[viscid wraith]

i was barrel stuffing again a while back and its such a stupid habit

[torpid obsidian]

Jesus i cnat type todsu

[austere glen]

but tbh i do also ads a lot even in bb

[torpid obsidian]

Todsy

Today

[simple ledge]

yo

[torpid obsidian]

2.5 on 800 jesus crist

[simple ledge]

watch video plz (bless)

[torpid obsidian]

Thats so high

[viscid wraith]

2.5 800 is cracked

i love that sens

[simple ledge]

most of those clips are 2.3

[torpid obsidian]

I use 1.2 on 800

[viscid wraith]

used it for like 2 weeks

[torpid obsidian]

What

[simple ledge]

ur a psycho

[torpid obsidian]

Im an arm gamer

[viscid wraith]

3.0 is too fast tho i tried that and its just dumb

[simple ledge]

nah 3 is fine

[viscid wraith]

bruh im on 1.1 rn lol

[torpid obsidian]

I mean

[viscid wraith]

low sens is broken

literal cheating

[torpid obsidian]

2.0 is as high as ive gine

And its just

I can aim with just my wrist

[viscid wraith]

i started to get a little too shaky on 3.0

https://streamable.com/wlairq

and i have what id call pretty decent mouse control

[austere glen]

your bronze hero has arrived

[torpid obsidian]

I like low sens cuz you can still do like

180s just by moving ur arm

Unless you have small mousepad

But i have desk wide pad

[austere glen]

lever actions are so cool ong

shame i dont have the aim for the 3030

[torpid obsidian]

What

[viscid wraith]

just hipfire it lul

itll miss twice and then hit a headie

[torpid obsidian]

Oh yeah they kinda buffing shatter cap

[viscid wraith]

yeah its innate now right?

[torpid obsidian]

They make it so hipfire will always shatter cap

Yuh

And ads will always just do the thing

[viscid wraith]

peter big buff

[wintry cypress]

Peter is so nice to use

[torpid obsidian]

Shatter caps are really underrated

[wintry cypress]

Unironically

[torpid obsidian]

They so broken

[austere glen]

the collection

[wintry cypress]

I like it

[torpid obsidian]

Hoe

How

[austere glen]

not playing

[torpid obsidian]

Oh yeah

[wintry cypress]

Don't play ranked lol

Ezpz

[austere glen]

yeah i dont

[torpid obsidian]

I play mostly pubs

And just

[austere glen]

pubs are pain most of the time but at least you sometimes get matched against bots

[torpid obsidian]

Full send everything

[austere glen]

better than ranked being pain all day every day

[torpid obsidian]

And i drop faide building ever time

Heh

[austere glen]

bc suddenly when the mmr is visible instead of a shadow mmr, people start caring about it

🙄

[wintry cypress]

Pubs are mentally so much better than ranked

Cause u cant lose anything

[torpid obsidian]

Unless you have people who tryhard at pubs

[austere glen]

your time

[wintry cypress]

I mean

[torpid obsidian]

Literally i have a friend who cant realize pubs is for feeding your brains out

[wintry cypress]

We lose that anyway

[torpid obsidian]

I do want to get to diamond at one poiny

[austere glen]

i'd also want to use the sentinel more bc i love the amped shot sound

but it needs more aim than what i have

does the ads rule also apply to snipers?

[torpid obsidian]

I might grind next split but since they rewarding ratting

[torpid obsidian]

Ofc

[torpid obsidian]

Sentinal bad

[austere glen]

[torpid obsidian]

Longbow better

[austere glen]

sentinel sexy

idc if its bad

[wintry cypress]

Sentinel pog right? @viscid wraith

[austere glen]

i'm here to have fun not to win

[torpid obsidian]

Its

So slow

[austere glen]

yes but have you heard the amped sound

[torpid obsidian]

Yes but

[wintry cypress]

How about

Wingy skullpiercer

😩

[torpid obsidian]

How you not have aim you diamond

[austere glen]

bc i'm diamond

[wintry cypress]

Literally makes you aim better

[austere glen]

[torpid obsidian]

Im gold complete lmao

[viscid wraith]

sentinel is my baby

[austere glen]

aim doesn't get good until gm bro

it's all a tutorial up to that point

[bright elm]

wat

[wintry cypress]

[austere glen]

hey at least you're better than me

[zinc elm]

you’re not good at aiming until you’re at least astra complete

[viscid wraith]

voltaic unranked master race

get rekt n3rds

[wintry cypress]

I'm master but I'm getting there aim wise

[bright elm]

you're not good at aiming if you started to play kovaaks

💯

[viscid wraith]

^

fax

[wintry cypress]

Also hollow is plat vt but has better aim than all of us

[zinc elm]

i thought he was diamond

[wintry cypress]

Checkmate

Mayne

[zinc elm]

same difference i guess though

[bright elm]

because he doesn't play benches and actually plays stuff that isolates his weaknesses

[wintry cypress]

In some scens

[bright elm]

[wintry cypress]

Yea but even then his mouse control isn't very high

[viscid wraith]

10k hrs of overwatch is basically kovaks tho lets be hionest

[torpid obsidian]

I need motivation to do more kovaks

[wintry cypress]

[bright elm]

what

[torpid obsidian]

Cuz ive been slacking in the grinding department

[bright elm]

have you seen him use skypad

[zinc elm]

what do you mean benchmarks don’t make me good at video games!!

[viscid wraith]

hollows ability in his sens range is phenomanal

[wintry cypress]

It's still plat/dia is what im trying to say

[viscid wraith]

he played 2.5 800 when he first started apex too iirc

my crackhead sens

[bright elm]

ik crazy

[wintry cypress]

https://youtu.be/t-4yUlx3RTs

[austere glen]

im on 2.0 800

[bright elm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBBi4fAne4Q

this one better

[viscid wraith]

hey guys so im like jade on my static benchmarks and i cant seem to get radiant, do you think the drag coefficient on my not-a-skypad is potentially creating an anomaly error with my mouse control within the 50-60cm sens range during 9-12pm on tuesdays?

[wintry cypress]

Nah I like the old ones better

Not cause of quality

But the clips

[bright elm]

idk

clips are better

in his new ones

just shows how much

he imporved

improved*

[austere glen]

oh no

[viscid wraith]

lmaooo

[wintry cypress]

Godd

[austere glen]

and it's an ash player

[simple ledge]

nah id say jade/masters is good enough

[austere glen]

[wintry cypress]

True^

[viscid wraith]

jokes aside ye i agree my aim is a little below what i want and im dia/jade when i did do the benchmarks for shits and gigs

[wintry cypress]

Just play overwatch for 10k hours after and you'll be just like hollow

[bright elm]

or spend 1/10th of that time in kovaaks

[viscid wraith]

workshop maps for 25min in dps queue is literally kovaaks lmfao

[bright elm]

and you'll spend less time in game worrying about aim

[wintry cypress]

True

Already at 1/20th

[bright elm]

it's crazy how fast you can improve in the aim department

compared to just spending

5k hours in game

[wintry cypress]

Very true

[bright elm]

anyway, 25cm is the wave

[viscid wraith]

lmao gamer

[bright elm]

rn

[wintry cypress]

But I still feel like spending time ingame is worth it

[bright elm]

oh ofc

[wintry cypress]

Gonna go 20 next week lol

Wish me luck

[bright elm]

i always recommend spending more time in game

than in kovaaks

good luck

[viscid wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/yugi-muto-thumbs-up-yugioh-yami-yugi-gif-7815642

[simple ledge]

30min kovaaks + 3hrs game

[viscid wraith]

2.5 800 is the goat

[simple ledge]

the goat

[bright elm]

i think i went from 45cm last week

to 25 this week

[simple ledge]

RT

[wintry cypress]

I went from 37 to 25

[viscid wraith]

i should rephrase, 2.5 800 is the most fun ive had on a sens

but im a fuckin aimbot on 1.1

[wintry cypress]

I think I'll just

Actually

Idk

[viscid wraith]

dooo it dooo it doo it

[wintry cypress]

What imma do after 20cm

[bright elm]

it's hard to fucking look around on low sens

tho

[rugged reef]

Soar is absolutely goated

[viscid wraith]

kris remember i played 80cm for a year or 2

this is not low

from my pov

lmao

[bright elm]

idk man, close range tracking can be a pain sometimes

especially when i go up zips

legit whipping my arm around

[viscid wraith]

i have whole arm

[wintry cypress]

I legit have a clip where I tried to track close range with 2 wingmans and I missed every single shot

[bright elm]

dw i do too

let me pull it up actaully

[viscid wraith]

oh god makys edits are usually cleaner then this im getting fuckin flashbanged https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RuZEZMLYIs

[zinc elm]

is r301 good

[viscid wraith]

no

terrible gun

use p20

[zinc elm]

not really sure what guns to go for off drop

[bright elm]

any gun

[viscid wraith]

literally everything is good

balance is pretty solid rn tbh

[zinc elm]

ah

[bright elm]

if anything

[rugged reef]

was that on 25cm?

[bright elm]

no

this was like 6 months ago

when i was using

I think

35?

[wintry cypress]

KvaaKs

[bright elm]

nah i didn't touch kovaaks or fps in like

2 months

when i made this

[wintry cypress]

For me it was on 43cm

[zinc elm]

fastest disconnect in the west

[bright elm]

this was like the first day back

and i was not having a good time

[wintry cypress]

Literally missed everything point blank

[rugged reef]

damn I feel those misses on a personal level and the elave reaction time

[alpine trail]

honestly i hate the volt with all my heart

[wintry cypress]

Literally

How

It's so good

[bright elm]

it's the best smg

high damage with no recoil

man these clips are old

[alpine trail]

nahh

i guess i didnt realise it

until now

[viscid wraith]

cleaning out my streamable rn

gibby fat https://streamable.com/0fuu80

lmfao

[bright elm]

goomba stomp

[viscid wraith]

ew being boosted by gibby caustic

shame

shame this man

[remote river]

https://tenor.com/view/shame-go-t-game-of-thrones-walk-of-shame-shameful-gif-4949558

[alpine trail]

ngl im only good with the wingman and r301 sometimes r99 and shotguns ig

[wintry cypress]

Doesn't make much sense tbh

[remote river]

@viscid wraith this game was nuts
https://streamable.com/2x1rlj

[alpine trail]

slow weapons are a pain for me

[viscid wraith]

yeah we fried at the end there

[bright elm]

idk doesn't really make sense that you can track with an r99

[viscid wraith]

tbf you were like

[bright elm]

but not a volt

[viscid wraith]

straight fuckin dudes that whole sesh

[bright elm]

it's the same tracking regardless

[wintry cypress]

Yea

[bright elm]

it should be easier to track with a volt actually

[wintry cypress]

And volt has less recoil

[bright elm]

it has less reocil

[wintry cypress]

Ye

[rugged reef]

is recoil smoothing and jitter aiming actually useful and something I should practice?

[viscid wraith]

@remote river just being undeniably hot af https://streamable.com/c3e1fh

[remote river]

I stay fking dudes 😤

[bright elm]

recoil smoothing doesn't need to be practiced

but it encourages anti mirroring

[rugged reef]

i was watching torje's video

[bright elm]

jitter aiming can help

for taking down enemies standing still

easily

[remote river]

https://streamable.com/3w8npw no hud version 😎

[viscid wraith]

pog

[wintry cypress]

Handcam

[rugged reef]

hmmm okay, I wasn't sure how practical it is for gameplay use

[austere glen]

imagine if you could sell skins for crafting mats

[wintry cypress]

Or fuse skins for a better rarity one

[bright elm]

it's just good to have

[wintry cypress]

Like cs

[austere glen]

something like that

[bright elm]

recoil smoothing is apparent in the gameplay almost 24/7

[viscid wraith]

sorry unfortunately clip is mid without me calling you hot in the background

lmfao

[wintry cypress]

Just delay the workout lol

[rugged reef]

So besides centering 90, and being mindful of it, is there a way to like practice it?

[viscid wraith]

just like

move while shoot

[bright elm]

having good tracking

and being comfortable

with anti mirroring

and differentiating your strafe patterns

[rugged reef]

[bright elm]

aka dodging

[remote river]

ill have to properly edit it in premiere tonight i just lossless cut it

[bright elm]

prolly not the answer u wanna hear

but it's the truth

[viscid wraith]

[rugged reef]

no no its helpful but it boils down to "get good"

[deep linden]

spiyt

[bright elm]

basically yes

[deep linden]

did you get masters

[viscid wraith]

yeah

[deep linden]

nice

congrats

[bright elm]

because there's no specific scenario in kovaaks

[viscid wraith]

@deep linden

[bright elm]

that'll help you with that

just scenarios involving tracking overall

will help

[rugged reef]

congrats man!

[bright elm]

and movement scenarios will help you get comfortable

[deep linden]

I'm keeping myself at D4 until I finish helping my friend

[viscid wraith]

tyty

[bright elm]

with mirroring/anti mirroring

and the idea of dodging

[bright elm]

this can be practiced through 1v1's ^^

[rugged reef]

I've been doing the fundamentals + smoothness issue routine. I'm glad that itll just come in time but I'm also sad that im bad

[deep linden]

and then I quit this game

Valorant time

[bright elm]

same shit, different game

[wintry cypress]

[bright elm]

https://tenor.com/view/same-shit-different-day-gif-20718405

[wintry cypress]

Same shit other shit game

[remote river]

plays on 6.5cm/360 btw

[bright elm]

their loss

[wintry cypress]

"My aim is shaky"

"Sens issue"

You won't hear that alot

[bright elm]

i once had to argue with this guy in #advice about why sensitivities in the extremities is stupid and no one should ever use them

you know what his argument was?

[alpine trail]

would it be smart to play 1w4ts poke

[wintry cypress]

I mean can't something like 100+cm help with speed

[bright elm]

minigod uses 160cm and this fortnite pro uses 5cm

[alpine trail]

to beat my 1w4ts score

[bright elm]

why can't I use it in game?

like ???????????

[wintry cypress]

Bruh

Who would use 5cm

[bright elm]

i wanted to tell him to fuck off

[oblique pulsar]

Rolled

[bright elm]

i was a broken record

speaking to a brick wall for like

25 minutes

[remote river]

those who want a true carpal tunnel speed run

[river knot]

kinda new to apex and was wondering what smg is good

[bright elm]

atm

[river knot]

cos theres r99 volt and car

[bright elm]

car and r99

volt got carepackaged

can't find it on the ground anymore

[river knot]

oh

rip

[wintry cypress]

Yea

[bright elm]

is the alternator

[wintry cypress]

In like

[bright elm]

an smg

[wintry cypress]

2 hours

[remote river]

Car is best SMG rn imo

[bright elm]

car is good close range

[river knot]

alternator was kinda bussin

[bright elm]

sucks balls mid range tho

not going to lie

[river knot]

from care package only tho

[remote river]

Alternator bout to go crazy

[bright elm]

r99 is the most balanced smg

[wintry cypress]

Oh yea forgoy

[bright elm]

but at the same time, it's dogshit because of the big brother car

[remote river]

recoil smoothing go brrrrr

[dusky summit]

r99 is my fav gun to control

[remote river]

re bout to be meta af

[wintry cypress]

Yea the car with 5 million recoil

[bright elm]

yep

i still pick up the r99 regardless

[wintry cypress]

R9 is so nice

[bright elm]

still, r99 is easier to beam

mid range

[wintry cypress]

Yea same

[rugged reef]

So what's yalls favorite loadouts?

[bright elm]

car just goes too crazy

[bright elm]

wingman r99

flatline r99

r99 pk

[remote river]

For funsies R301/Wingman

[bright elm]

r99 with anything

[sharp nova]

i like r9 more than car

just cuz car irons are fucking dog piss

idc about anything else

[bright elm]

[sharp nova]

theyre basically the same otherwise

[rugged reef]

the irons are terrible

[wintry cypress]

I'm gonna use wingman mozam a shitton

[rugged reef]

wish we got a skin for that

[sharp nova]

i got the pink skin for car from a pack

[rugged reef]

click time gaming

[sharp nova]

and the irons are somehow WORSE than default

[charred plank]

@tawny comet nickmercs about to lose predDXXXXXD

and he is not aware of it haha

[dusky summit]

car takes too much effort

to use

[sharp nova]

its like 2 hrs to update and im gonna go 2bed

x_x

tomorrow is rest day

so i get to spam hrs into apex

[wintry cypress]

Yessirr

Wingman is so much fun, same with mozam hammers

[sharp nova]

i love wingman so much on au servers

[bright elm]

[sharp nova]

i think its the packet loss

[bright elm]

[wintry cypress]

Update releasing when i go gym

[viscid wraith]

im unironically dogshit with p2w wing now

lmfao

fat wing go brrt

i aim with the model lmfao

[austere glen]

i could go to the gym too but i'm only working on lower body for now and bodyweight is enough for that

[sharp nova]

wtf

[wintry cypress]

Bodyweight for legs?

[sharp nova]

even for noobs bw isnt enough for lower

[wintry cypress]

Idk about that

[sharp nova]

unless ur like morbidly obese

[rugged reef]

update releases an hour before I go to work... night shift

[austere glen]

you underestimate how giga noob i am

[wintry cypress]

[sharp nova]

🤨

[bright elm]

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-twerk-yellow-ass-thang-gif-18983570

pinger at the gym

[wintry cypress]

Gotta get that ass dawg

Even as a dude

[sharp nova]

r u a femoid

[bright elm]

working em glutes

[sharp nova]

or do u just want a fat dude ass

[wintry cypress]

Lmao im not

[sharp nova]

not u noob

[austere glen]

femoid

[sharp nova]

fair enough

[wintry cypress]

Anyway

[sharp nova]

weighted glute bridge and hip thrust is goat for growing cheeks

[wintry cypress]

Squatting is fun ngl

I don't even do any of that lol

[viscid wraith]

powerlifting is addicting

i cant fuckign wait to get back into the gym

[wintry cypress]

Squats are enough for me

[sharp nova]

squats arent gonna give u ass

[viscid wraith]

i havent lifted all quarantine and i feel fat and useless

[austere glen]

courtesy of /fit/

[viscid wraith]

deadys give you ass

[sharp nova]

this is meme

[viscid wraith]

squats give you thunder thighs

[wintry cypress]

Yea mainly cause sets of 8 or higher on compound movements are death

[austere glen]

i'm not going for strength or even mass necessarily

[sharp nova]

y would u do 8 sets

[austere glen]

right now i got nada

[viscid wraith]

i dont lift for aesthetics anyway

[wintry cypress]

They do both for me xD

[sharp nova]

unless you mean reps

[wintry cypress]

Sets of 8

[sharp nova]

oh

[rugged reef]

the bigger the glutes the better you stroke

[sharp nova]

i get it

[wintry cypress]

So 8 reps a set

[austere glen]

i'm doing the middle progression rn

[wintry cypress]

Lel

[austere glen]

so 3 sets of 20 reps

[sharp nova]

gramatically that makes sense

[bright elm]

8 sets

[sharp nova]

just weird way to say it

[wintry cypress]

8 sets of 1

[bright elm]

[wintry cypress]

Real powerlifitng

[bright elm]

sheesh

that's a workout

[austere glen]

max power rip

[sharp nova]

this is dumb btw

get something vaguely heavy and do hip thrusts, itll do more than any of that shit for ur ass

split squats and goblet squats are cool too

[austere glen]

b-b-but the little muscles

[sharp nova]

and u can do stiff leg DL pretty easy with anything heavy

[wintry cypress]

Apparently reverse deficit split squats are hella good for ass too

Idk thk

[sharp nova]

lunges in general are good at least

[wintry cypress]

Yea

Too bad i dont doo em

[austere glen]

i got a really good pool in my city with a nice 50m

gotta get my old swimmer body back

[sharp nova]

my only leg work is hack squat, sldl, and dl

[austere glen]

i'm still riding on the muscles i gained while doing that

i just haven't been doing maintenance well enough so i've lost a lot of the tone i used to have

[wintry cypress]

I do compounds heavy for sets of 5 rest is for hypertrophy

[sharp nova]

sometimes barbell squat

[wintry cypress]

It's pretty nice

[wintry cypress]

I do squat, leg ext, prone leg curl, and then some calves xD

[viscid wraith]

i did olympic style comp lifting in high school and fell in love with it

[sharp nova]

today was ohp > pullup > yates row > hack squat > deadlift

[viscid wraith]

i want to get back into it so bad

soon tho

[austere glen]

i was in prep for junior competitive swimming in middle school

[sharp nova]

oly lifting seems fun

[austere glen]

then i got bullied into leaving

[sharp nova]

u just need a lot of space

[viscid wraith]

ye and 90% of gyms arent set up for it lol

[sharp nova]

im homegym

but my squat rack is right at the end of my bed

[austere glen]

homegym sounds lit

[sharp nova]

so i cant do any oly lifts

[wintry cypress]

Oly lifting sounds kind of dangerous to me ngl

The part where u put 315 above ur hesd

Head

[austere glen]

shame that my home gym would need a pool so it'd have to be lacking for my wants and desires

[viscid wraith]

its really pretty safe

[sharp nova]

[viscid wraith]

you practice techniques for dropping the weights

[sharp nova]

look how close it is to my bed lol

[alpine trail]

man I had to train during lockdown at home

had oly barbell with 120 kg worth of plates

worst shit ever

[sharp nova]

i only have 180kg of plates rn

[wintry cypress]

Nah i mean like being unstable, snapping your shoulders back, shit like that

[alpine trail]

bench was really low so resorted to larsen press

[wintry cypress]

Seems sketch af to me

[sharp nova]

so i cant 1rm any lower body

[viscid wraith]

that doesnt happen

lol

[sharp nova]

it happens if u take it too fast

[wintry cypress]

I mean ive seen knees bend backwards

[viscid wraith]

if youre doing that

[wintry cypress]

So why not

[viscid wraith]

its bad technique or being an idiot

[alpine trail]

I have volume program starting monday for 4 weeks

cba

[sharp nova]

but the human body is actually pretty good at being aware of that stuff

[viscid wraith]

^

you know if its too much

[sharp nova]

if u feel urself losing the weight, step back and let it drop

[viscid wraith]

and you dont fuckin do it

[sharp nova]

really simple

[wintry cypress]

Yea ik but still, i wouldnt want to do it

[sharp nova]

or jump forward, depends on what ur doing

[viscid wraith]

ye it can be a mental block for a lot ofpeople

once youve done it once or twice tho

you realize how simple it is

[wintry cypress]

I'll stick to regular weightlifting

[sharp nova]

its a diff world entirely

competition sport

[wintry cypress]

Yea

[sharp nova]

i mean i guess powerlifting is too

[viscid wraith]

the only bail i fuckin hate is front squats

[sharp nova]

but still, very diff

[austere glen]

i actually have a friend who holds a finnish record for weighted pullups

absolute beast

[sharp nova]

FINLAND FOREVER

[alpine trail]

powerlifting is great

I had comp january 23rd went really well

[sharp nova]

im a bit sad i cant really progress with barbell back squat

without being in pain

[austere glen]

he did 80kg at 19yo

[alpine trail]

then had to isolate bc covid 😄

[austere glen]

machine

weighing like 65kg

[wintry cypress]

Pog

[wintry cypress]

Lower back?

[sharp nova]

well

torso stabilisation in general

[wintry cypress]

Ah fucc

[sharp nova]

im 6'4" and i have HUGE femurs

so its really not good for my anthropometry

[austere glen]

he also did 24 reps at +70kg at 18yo

[sharp nova]

like to get below parallel, i have to bend so far forward

[wintry cypress]

Yea that sucks

[sharp nova]

a2g is just impossible with heavy weight

[viscid wraith]

lmao im 5'6 built like a tree stump, im a deadlifting fiend but my squat proportions are technically not good

[austere glen]

i'm a plank

[viscid wraith]

i can a2g really easily but i have to high bar

[alpine trail]

I actually need to cut like a kg to get back into my weight class

[sharp nova]

high bar is better

^_^

[wintry cypress]

I always do highbar lmao

[alpine trail]

but I hate having to cut I love eating too much

[austere glen]

honestly i have pretty good proportions for being a swimmer

long legs, long arms, reasonably slim body

[viscid wraith]

agreed, low bar is just more weight for powerlifting comp

[alpine trail]

low bar gang

[wintry cypress]

Yea idk how that shit works

[viscid wraith]

and in some cases can help people who have back pain with squatting

[wintry cypress]

All i know is it shifts the weight

[viscid wraith]

low bar really helps some people

[alpine trail]

my lowbar is like 40kg better than my high bar

[viscid wraith]

lowbar is the kind of load programs

ez

[alpine trail]

same w dl sumo and conv

[wintry cypress]

And makes u use ur hipdrive more i think?

[viscid wraith]

high bar is just more comfy for me with my small frame

[proven pulsar]

Masters achieved

[rugged reef]

Ayyyee congrats

[zinc elm]

based name

[wintry cypress]

I'm 6'0 and i do highbar as well

[viscid wraith]

high bar is also simple as shit

[wintry cypress]

I have a friend thats like 190-200cm that also does highbar squat

[viscid wraith]

less things to fuck up

[wintry cypress]

Yea

It's just simple

[viscid wraith]

low bar theres a little technique involved

[bright elm]

why are y'all so tall

[wintry cypress]

Europe
